Unfortunately, any pet brought into the home before the child is a teenager (and maybe even longer) will require the involvement of the family to care, feed and keep it safe. You cannot just give it to the child and hope for the best. A hamster or young kitten in the hands of a toddler could risk injury or death. So, you watch over the pet and the child. A cat or a dog has a longer lifespan than a rodent, reptile or other animal, and they will also incur vet bills at some point. Dogs definitely need time and training to become a beloved family pet, so if you are not home much, a cat may be a better choice. My brown tabby (almost a Maine coone) is a smart, active, and affectionate pet.

Why it is not good for a child to get a pet?
I think it is good for a child to get a pet. It teaches them responsibility and how to care for things. They need to be made to keep up with it though and take care of it. It also depends on what kind of pet it is and how young the child is. If the child is very young and unable to care for the pet they may need some help or may not need to have the pet yet but it could be a good learning experience if the parent is willing to help. The child should not have a dangerous pet or one that is very difficult to care for like an exotic pet unless they are much older.
